The Weighting Game - WIP

just working with what i have
as i tried everything in .5 talked to everyone ran back checked other paths to see if anything would happen but had no issues that was the only thing i could think of you’d have different
sorry

There are always going to be errors when I release a new version. The game is way way bigger than I ever envisaged and I simply don’t have the time to try out all the various possible paths.

I tested 0.5 with a 0.4 save and it worked okay. But different people play in different ways and I’m quite sure that some go about the game in ways that simply haven’t occured to me. Which’ll lead to bugs popping up that I’m not aware of.

Anyway, that’s the whole point of the test version :slight_smile: I’m busy with real life work stuff today, but will be starting to work through the reported glitches on Saturday and I’ll then get a bug free(ish!) new version uploaded.

Would it be too much of a giveaway to ask how much backtracking would be involved to get the other of the two endings? I have an idea as to where it could possibly fork but I could well be chasing a false lead.

I’ll spoil how to find it in a way that won’t spoil anything at all about the game unless you’re already playing it and have memorized everything about it.

The fork has something slightly to do with your boss, your never seen boss that you don’t even know the name of that’s rarely mentioned.

edit: if this is too big a spoiler @tiggertoo just tell me and i’ll delete it. but I figure this hint is so minor it is okay. but anyone who has been really struggling and searching to find the fork, well, this should be enuff for those folks.

Right, thought as much. Cheers for clarifying :+1:

Hello tigger, I already wrote with another user, but got no reply.

I would like to pay for the full game, but I don’t want to give personal infos, something Patreon requires. is it avaikable an anonymous way to pay?

Pretty much the only other alternative my work-fried brain can currently think of is to offer individual paypal payments. This is something that I simply don’t have the time to do, I’m afraid.

Patreon isn’t a great platform, but it is as secure as any other payment site out there.

I’d prefer no spoilers at all, but seeing as it’s right at the end of the current game, it’s not going to do much harm to leave it up and let people see both endings :slight_smile:

I’m looking forward to your game and would like to help, but the fucking patreon refuses to pay.
Would you please consider another way to help?

The only other solution I can think of is putting the game up for sale as early access on Steam, Itch, etc… but I really don’t want to do that until it’s closer to completion.

Have you tried contacting Patreon? It’s in their interests to help you out seeing as they get a big slice of any money my game makes.

There is no response from patreon.

It’s only been a day. And I doubt they work weekends

Inquiries have been made 5 days in advance.
Even if I keep inquiring for 5 days, the reply from patreon is 0.

Finished playing v0.5
Some thoughts

The only real “gameplay” critique I can think of is Alice goes from 200lbs to 300lbs way too quickly, it’s usually harder for bigger women to continue putting on weight, I feel like something really needs to be tweaked and slow down the weight gain progress after she hits 200lbs. Also not really interested in pregnancy as a fetish and I feel like Alice’s sister gets shoehorned into the game too much, I think it would be better if it weren’t pregnancy at all but just plain old weight gain, I guess it’s too late to change that though. Also I feel bad for Chris, guy seemed to really like Hannah and him seeing the Protagonist and Hannah in his own house sending him running, poor fella, guess it depends on your choices though lol

That ending with the boss though :heart_eyes: can’t wait for v0.6

A lot of that is more preference than game critique imo. Save the first point, but I think the pacing sort of needs to speed up as we get more branches with the different girls - it already takes a while to make progress and I’m not sure how far off the end we are but I’d guess like 60-70%. As to pregnancy I kinda dig it, and it’s also a great reason for a weight gain.

That’s why I said “some thoughts” and “the only real critique I can think of”
And I couldn’t disagree more on your suggestion to speed up the pacing, the pacing is already unnaturally fast. And I expect they will now gain weight at an even faster rate now that all the girls know the protagonist is into it
I like the idea of savoring the WG a bit and really requiring you as the player to push them to pack their tummies full. Also just saying that as a girl gets larger it really does require more and more calories to push their weight higher.

I certainly won’t be speeding things up at all. I’ve been saying for a while that I’d like to slow things down. Perhaps that time has finally come.

I’m still working (slowly - thanks real life work) on the fixes for 0.5. Once those are out of the way and I’ve had a chance to catch my breath, I’ll make a decision on whether 0.6 will be carrying on where we left off, or going back to the start of the game to tidy things up/add more content/slow things down a bit.

Alternatively, one good way of showcasing a “faster” gain is through a timeskip. Like, an event happens, which leads to a timeskip, and then the gameplay resumes some time later, “days later” or “months later” or even “a year later”.

Congrats on 1,000 total… comments? eh, still worth a congratulation. Either way, this game’s pretty fun overall

@Errornulll Still says 999 to me? So I guess this comment will make it 1,000. Although let’s face it, 80% of the comments are me waffling on about nothing worth talking about :stuck_out_tongue:

@ThisAnon Nice idea, but would be very hard to implement. A lot of the events in the game are totally independent of how much time has passed.
